註釋This in-depth study examines the social structures and religious beliefs that helped shape Southern history from colonization to the twenty-first century.

The history of race and religion in the American South is infused with tragedy, survival, resistance, and even transcendence. In Christianity and Race in the American South, Paul Harvey provides an enlightening narrative history that fundamentally transforms our understanding of American Christianity and religious identity.

Harvey examines the intertwined histories of race and religion in the South, dating back to the first days of European settlement. He reveals a complex story rife with strange alliances, unlikely parallels, and far too many tragedies. He shows how the role of Southern churches were critically shaped by the conflicts over slavery and race that defined southern life more broadly.

Harvey’s book offers essential insight into today’s volatile brew of race, violence, religion, and southern identity.
